Early adopters of GTA Online who are still smarting from tech disasters that resulted in lost characters, vanished guns and a total inability to play, will be receiving their own personal stimulus package by way of an apology. Developer Rockstar has promised that $500,000 of in-game currency will be deposited in characters' bank accounts this month, a piece of news likely to bring joy to Los Santos estate agents.

Nintendo has revealed the trailer for upcoming 3DS game, The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds demonstrating hero Link's new ability to merge with scenery, flattening himself into the walls of Hyrule, and disappearing through cracks to discover the new dark world of Lorule (do you see what they've done there?). It's the first new Zelda since 2011's Skyward Sword and therefore a rapturous occasion for the series' many fans. The due date for the latest Link launch is 22 November.
